Just curious if any one has tips on car topping a kayak on a small coupe car. I am looking at 10 to 12 foot kayaks but my car is a small Pontiac Sunfire. Any advice would be helpful and the yakima roof rack system looks much to expensive for my budget.
Handirack ??
I have had great results using the Malone inflateable handirack carrying 2 rec kayaks, worth looking at. I have gotten a lot of great advice from this site so I am sure others will offer other suggestions, I just purchased a Thule rack on ebay and will still use Handirack on my wifes car from time to time…

Ensure rack has a brace bar/s
If the vehicle has only has two doors, ensure the car top carrier you select uses two brace bars connecting the front and rear bars together. Carry a 18’ Falcon S/18 and a Capehorn 140 on my Ford Focus Hatchback. Good luck. Four years and no problems. (Tule)

They work, but not as good as a true
rack system.
